1234

Video Solution

Solution Steps

00:00 What is common to all illustrations?
00:02 Perpendicular lines create a right angle at their intersection point
00:05 In this example, the lines form a right angle therefore are perpendicular
00:08 In this one too
00:15 In this one too
00:19 And in this one too
00:22 All lines are perpendicular to each other and that's the answer to the question

Step-by-Step Solution

Upon observation we can see that all the lines intersect forming a right angle of 90 degrees.

Typically intersecting lines that form a right angle of 90 degrees are perpendicular and vertical lines.

Therefore, the correct answer is a.

Answer

All the figures are perpendicular
